He's got 56 league goals in 90 games over the last three years.

An excellent record.

Rooney's record looks good on paper because he punishes weak teams but his record against the best teams in Championship Finals, falls short and has done many times. I feel that players like Sterling, Sturridge, Barkley, AOC might be able to do it at that highest level but we might not find out if Rooney continues to have an automatic starting role for the next six years.
